    HELP! Wrinkled tie

    Ahhhhh! I have a presentation to give at work tomorrow and the tie I want to wear is kinda wrinkled -- some creases in it.

    How do you straighten it out? I have access to a drying machine if putting it in there for 5 minutes on low would do anything or is safe. Steam or something maybe? I don't know!

    Any ideas would be awesome, I'm up at 6:30am Eastern tomorrow, so I'll be checking if ya have any tips then.
    And closer...

    Try hanging it from a hanger in the bathroom, run the shower on full hot, and close the door. The steam will fill up the bathroom and should make the wrinkles fall out. I would think....

    Linky says it works on clothes...

    I usually just iron it on low heat, very carefully...I haven't had any problems yet...I just try not to do it too often. I make sure the heat is enough to get the iron to steam.

    Don't iron it. Steam that sucker like the other guy said. Ties have this natural, soft roll on the edges. Ironing flattens these edges and it won't look good.
